Stavanger is the fourth biggest city in Norway. It is situated on the southwest coast.
My aim is to try to capture something from every day, from the area nearby too, and when I am not at home I will still try to put up a photo from my archive.
Welcome back for another look.

The youngest author debutant this year is this man from Stavanger.

ERIK MELING SELE, a 23 year old civil and environmental engineering student at NTNU in Trondheim, who was back in his hometown to promote and celebrate his first book last Thursday.

Those of us who had the chance to be there, received a copy of his book "The Coffin", which you see at the back of him.

He told us that he was inspired by Roald Dahl's short stories.

He wrote this collection of crime stories while he was studying, and taking part in several other activities for the students.

I have just started to re-read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, a story about death in Savannah, Georgia. This is in preparation for a biking and hiking trip in that area in two weeks.

This is an intriguing photo! I really like it. Looks surreal. Hmm I'm always reading a dozen books which are strewn about the house.Usually not fiction. The gamut. Yoga. Sawdust firing. Books on nutrition and healthy diets. And usually a book by some Indian Saint or other. Blogs, facebook. Cookbooks. I'd like a good work of fiction, but I am really like the man in your photo, a great fan of the short story. I enjoy Granta and the Graywolfe Annuals. Etc for short stories. And Story magazine. It's a wonder I get anything done, or a book read, huh?
